[00:27.45]About ****ers and niggaz and gettin' drunken off that bud
[00:30.42]I was doing the shit they hadn't heard of
[00:32.46]But foolish was
[00:33.18]I to think that it wasn't no other cities like this
[00:35.97]And that they didn't like this
[00:37.20]That Compton was the home of a foot in yo ass, where you got blast
[00:40.53]And now that's just a thing of the past
[00:42.36]Let me tell ya why firsthand, we did a show up in

[00:48.63]And slangin' ain't nothin' new
[00:49.95]And for every ****er we done shot they done shot two
[00:52.44]Straight through and on since the sixties before
[00:54.72]I was born
[00:55.74]Families of young niggaz mourn
[00:57.42]So I'm just letting you know
[00:59.07]That if ya plan to take a trip to the bay keep your hand on the clip

[01:17.61]Where it's hot as a mother****er, hot enough to make ya cuss
[01:20.94]That's why
[01:21.33]I kept my ass on the bus
[01:22.86]But later on, when it cooled off we came down
[01:25.20]And met a couple of friends, who put us up on the

[01:28.65]Center, with
[01:29.40]Big Bob, Little
[01:30.27]Steve, Tojo,
[01:31.23]Biss and Rich
[01:32.16]And a couple of ****ers
[01:33.45]Then they took us to a man named
[01:34.92]Gus in a store
[01:35.94]He put me down with a herringbone and shoes galore
[01:38.70]That's when
[01:39.09]I started thinking that this wasn't like home
[01:41.22]But then they had to prove me wrong'
[01:43.11]Cuz later that night after we did the show
[01:45.42]We went back to the after set, and wouldn't ya know

[02:18.72]When we arrived
[02:19.68]I saw red and blue sweat suits
[02:21.12]When I'm thinkin' 'bout horse donkey and cowboy boots
[02:24.06]I guess Texas ain't no different from the rest
[02:26.13]And San Antonio, was just waitin' to put us to the test
[02:29.28]And before it was over the shit got deep
[02:31.71]A ****er got shot in the face, and was dead in the street
[02:34.29]Then they came in the club thinkin' of scrappin'
[02:36.51]Little did they know that we was packin'
[02:38.67]Yeah, we was puttin' 'em down and squaring the rest, shit
